Sleep Study Done!

[Angel_P 0]

Hi everyone,

Well last night I had my sleep study, LOL. So those who have already done it, know, but even though my friend had it done last week and I was somewhat prepared, I still was a little shocked. They manage to strap an electrode and wire to every part of your face, chest, and legs along with a thingie on your finger that I don't even remember what is for. Then the thing that looks like an oxygen tube but measures if you are breathing out of your nose or mouth. So at this point I am pretty sure that I could pick up FM radio from Brazil. Then the gentleman reminds me that I am being video taped and not to do anything that I would be embarrassed about. I laughed but he told me no, you would be surprised how many either forget or don't care.....:thumbup:.....:biggrin:.......and proceeds to tell me to RELAX and GET COMFORTABLE. Nice try. LOL Well anyway, I am glad that I purposely only go 6 hours of sleep the night before, I feel like considering all, I slept better than if I had slept well the night before.

So at this point, I have completed my EKG, Echo, blood work, PFT, Chest X-Ray, and Sleep study. Next week I have my upper GI, Nutritionist Consult, Psych Consult, and Stress Test.:cool2: Then I can start to SET A DATE!!!!! WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!! I am so excited, and as a side note.....I think the thing I look forward to the most about losing weight, is not always being zapped of energy, my sister wanted me to go for a walk in the park yesterday and I realized that I just have no energy.....ever.

Sorry its so long......and thanks for all the posts and encouragement, this site is awesome!

Angel_P I had the sleep study done a few weeks ago and it was strange I felt like an alien being monitored. I have moderate sleep apnea and have started to use the CPAP machine. Its not bad just have to get used to it my alergies keep me stuffed up this time of year so Its been hard to use.

I see the surgeon next week for my first appt I am excited best of luck to you
